ROASTED TOMATILLO AND GARLIC SALSA



Roasted Tomatillo and Garlic Salsa image

Tomatillos, lots of garlic and spicy jalapenos charred under the broiler give this salsa a rich, earthy flavor. If you like your salsa very hot, added roasted Jamaican scotch bonnets instead of the jalapeno.

Categories     Appetizers and Snacks     Dips and Spreads Recipes     Salsa Recipes     Salsa Verde Recipes

Time 40m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound fresh tomatillos, husks removed
1 head garlic cloves, separated and peeled
3 fresh jalapeno peppers
1 bunch fresh cilantro
½ cup water, or as needed
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven's broiler. Arrange the whole cloves of garlic, tomatillos, and jalapenos on a baking sheet. Place under the broiler, and cook for a few minutes. Remove garlic cloves first, as soon as they are toasted, to avoid developing a bitter flavor. Continue to roast jalapenos and tomatillos until evenly charred, turning occasionally. Set aside to cool. Don't remove the charred parts of the tomatillos or the peppers. They add a really nice flavor.
  • Place peppers and tomatillos in a blender with the garlic and cilantro. Add a little water to the mixture if necessary to facilitate blending. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until serving.

ROASTED TOMATILLO SALSA



Roasted Tomatillo Salsa image

Recipe courtesy of Truly Mexican by Roberto Santibanez with JJ Goode (copyright (c) 2011), as published by Cooking Channel. That simple blueprint - tomatillos, chiles, garlic - that you follow to make the previous salsa will lead you to another super salsa. The difference? You roast the garlic. That seemingly minor change takes barely any extra effort - after all, you're already roasting and toasting the other ingredients - but adds so much complexity and a haunting sweetness that plays off those tangy tomatillos. As for chiles, I love using smoky chipotles, but chiles de arbol add nuttiness and serious heat, while pasillas de Oaxaca, if you can get your hands on them, one-up chipotles with smokiness and a touch of fruitiness. The choice is yours. Keeps in the refrigerator for up to five days. Original recipe:http://www.cookingchanneltv.com/recipes/roasted-tomatillo-salsa-with-chipotle-and-roasted-garlic.html

Categories     Sauces

Time 1h5m

Yield 1 1/4 cups, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 lb tomatillo, husked and rinsed (5 or 6)
3 chipotle mora chilies, wiped clean and stemmed (purplish-red color)
6 garlic cloves, peeled
1/2 cup water
1/4 teaspoon fine salt or 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Set the oven or toaster oven to broil (alternatively, you can preheat the oven to 500degreesF) and preheat. If you're using the oven broiler, position the rack 8 inches from the heat source.
  • Put the tomatillos on a foil-lined baking pan and roast in the oven, turning them over once halfway through, until their tops and bottoms have blackened and the tomatillos are a khaki-green color and cooked to the core, 20 to 30 minutes. Let them cool to room temperature.
  • Meanwhile, heat a comal, griddle, or heavy skillet over medium-low heat and toast the chiles and roast the garlic on the comal, turning them over frequently until the chiles have puffed up and are blistered in spots, 3 to 5 minutes, and the garlic is tender and golden brown with some blackened spots, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Put the roasted tomatillos, chiles, and garlic in the blender jar with the water and salt and blend until smooth (the tomatillo seeds will still be visible). Season to taste with additional salt.

Time 35m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound tomatillos, unhusked
2 serrano chile peppers
2 jalapeno chile peppers
8 pequin chile peppers
4 cloves garlic
1 small whole onion, peeled
¼ cup chopped cilantro

Steps:

Toast, turning occasionally over medium-high heat until the husks of the tomatillos have blackened and their skins turn translucent.

  • Remove the husks from the tomatillos and the stems from the peppers. Place into the bowl of a food processor with the cilantro and salt to taste; process to desired consistency. Pour the salsa into a saucepan, and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes to mellow the flavors and remove the raw taste.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe tomatillos: Look for tomatillos that are firm and have a deep green color. Avoid tomatillos that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Roast the tomatillos and garlic: Roasting the tomatillos and garlic intensifies their flavor and gives the salsa a smoky taste. You can roast them in the oven or on a grill.
  • Use fresh cilantro: Fresh cilantro adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the salsa. If you don't have fresh cilantro, you can use dried cilantro, but it won't have the same flavor.
  • Add some heat: If you like spicy salsa, you can add some chopped jalapeños or serrano peppers to the salsa. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Serve the salsa immediately: Roasted tomatillo and garlic salsa is best served immediately after it is made. However, you can also store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Roasted tomatillo and garlic salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it mild or spicy, roasted tomatillo and garlic salsa is sure to be a hit.
